The amazing Shell House at Ballymaloe Cooking School…

Earlier today I walked Sheep’s Head Loop. Aka Poets’ Loop…

Research for my talk tonight at West Cork Literary Festival…

Drove to Baltimore for lunch.

@StueyD Indeed.

@Beathhigh Coins?

Glengarriff forest walk, West Cork.

@Overourwall Hit 30 degrees this afternoon. Madness.

@Beathhigh How’s the weather ?

Hmmm, any ideas @Beathhigh?

@ScotsPostPunk And he’d be listening to his sound system while hiding there!

@ChrisCu10106064 Usual 5% finders fee?

@Beathhigh ….. after prison Rebus escapes his notoriety in Edinburgh under an assumed name he heads out to the far west of Ireland where he uses his compensation money (apparently the sentence was too long) to buy an old fashioned burger joint where happily flipped burgers until one day…

Oh no! My wee treat in Dingwall!

@JennyBarclayDow 👏👏👏

@Beathhigh ❤️ 🌞

Bantry today…

@ABCQuinn @JasonGolaup @VPointTheatreCo I remember being in the audience! Proper theatre!

@JasonGolaup @VPointTheatreCo I’ve written a few plays Jason but I wrote the soundtrack for this with sleeve notes by @Beathhigh 🙌🏻💿 🎧 open.spotify.com/album/1tIUQOn5…

From the archives… ✨ The Beggar’s Opera with Sandy Grierson. Looking back at this reminds me how lucky I’ve been to work with so many brilliant artists over the years. Feeling grateful as I head into the next chapter with new music 💙

@biscuit_ersed @JournoStephen It was braw.

@Beathhigh @JournoStephen What was it like?

The best pizza topping combo is pineapple and anchovies. Nothing else comes close.

@biscuit_ersed @JournoStephen Making a documentary about evil. Asked him what happens at an exorcism. “It’s easier if I show you…”

@Beathhigh @JournoStephen What in earth had you done?

@biscuit_ersed @JournoStephen That dude exorcised me once - true story! Father Gabriel Amorth…

Ian Rankin: The Rebus author on ageing, West Cork and Rory Gallagher. The Scottish crime writer is coming to Bantry for the West Cork Literary Festival. He also tells us about his favourite books of all time irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/arts…

@booksandwine76 And written such a long long time ago…

A non-Rebus stand alone and somewhat ‘lost’ thriller from @Beathhigh. A UK satellite loses contact while a US shuttle crashes, leading to cover up, conspiracy, & a cat-and-mouse chase with a sinister unknown enemy. Quite the departure from Edinburgh’s gritty underbelly #Westwind

Note my refreshing glass of lemonade…
